Drug dealing and the violence which accompanies it creates a culture of fear for those living and working in the area. We are not complacent – this is an ongoing operation – but today’s results, which have seen drugs and drug dealers being taken off the streets of Lambeth, should go some way to improving the lives of everyone in the area.

Officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing Teams have been carrying out additional patrols in the Clapham Park Estate area and neighbouring wards.
